Programmed rapid start electronic fluorescent ballasts turn on lamps near-instantaneously. They are more energy efficient and less damaging to fluorescent lamps than instant-start ballasts and rapid-start ballasts. They are used in lighting fixtures that will be turned on or off frequently via occupancy sensors and other lighting controls that automatically operate the lights. The ballasts provide a small amount of voltage to preheat the lamps' filaments before the lamps turn on. This small initial voltage is supplied for a specific amount of time to avoid glow current, which can damage the lamps.

The fine print:

I do the best job I can at describing the item to insure that you are as happy when you receive it as you are when you win it. I sell all my items as is. Please be sure you would like to own what you are bidding on. You are responsible for your bidding actions. If you feel you need to change a bid, do not contact me asking me to cancel your bid. E bay has provided the means to retract incorrect bids. Please study the pictures included. If you don't see it, it is most likely not included! If you have any questions then feel free to ask before you bid. I will gladly answer them if I can. Please ask questions as early as possible as I am not one who lurks around my computer the last hour of an auction to see how it ends.

Winning Bidders should respond and make payment arrangements within 3 days of auction closing. Payment MUST be completed within 7 days of auction close or next bidder may be contacted and/or item re-auctioned.
